RNC Engages 11 Local Minority Businesses
Urban League of Greater Cleveland Clients to Sell at Pop-Up Shop
The Urban League of Cleveland, who will celebrate its 100 year anniversary next year, caught the eye of the RNC official due to its successful Entrepreneurship Center. The Entrepreneurship Center was established 12 years ago. The program provides minority small business with strategic planning, counseling, technical assistance, quality-based assessments, information about federal, state and local programs and more. This model has been highly successful and replicated by 12 different cities by the National Urban League. The pop-up store was made possible due to the collaboration and support of the following organizations: Republican National Convention (Committee on Arrangements); National Urban League (Urban Empowerment Fund); National Development Council; Morgan Stanley; Key Foundation; Burton D Morgan Foundation; the City of Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, and Urban League of Greater Cleveland.
About The Urban League of Cleveland
The Urban League of Greater Cleveland (ULGC), established 1917, is a community based nonprofit organization, created in response to the needs of families migrating from the South to urban cities in the North. Leveraging its assets as advocate and service provider, the ULGC helped to mitigate the issues of housing discrimination, limited access to employment, and poor landlord-tenant relations. In its 96-year history, the ULGC has delivered upon its mission to enable African Americans and other minority members to develop and exercise their potential on par with all other Americans through education, research, advocacy and provision of services. Partnering with government, corporate and other community organizations has enabled the ULGC's ability to respond effectively to the needs of those on the economic and social margins.
